Although some colors are darker than others, because Travertine is a porous stone they will all require sealing. Sealing will need to be re-done every 3-4 years depending on how much the area is used. If it is a food and drink area or around a pool these areas will need to be cared for and sealed more frequently or when needed.

We offer two sealers. Both sealers are penetrating which means they seep into the stone to protect it, instead of a surface sealer which sits on the surface of the stone.

Sealers are available in clear or enhance. Neither will effect the texture of the stone but the enhance sealer will darkening the stone up to 40%.

Sealers start at an affordable price of $60 per Liter, you can purchase the sealer in larger quantities for a more affordable option.

If the sealer is stored in a cool dry place it will last up to 24 months.

WHAT IS THE PRICE OF TRAVERTINE TILES?

Travertine tiles and pavers have a rich heritage dating back to Roman times. They have always had a rich and luxurious allure attached to them. Travertine was used exclusively in building the Roman Colosseum and was the dominant stone used in building the Roman Forum. Basically if you were a noble in Roman times your house had a lot of travertine in it. Nowadays Travertine is not used as a building material but as floor and wall tiles and outdoor pavers. Up until around 2012-2013 travertine tiles and pavers were always VERY expensive and exclusive. It was around this time that Travertine quarry’s in Turkey and Iran doubled production through better mining and production techniques flooding the export market with Travertine tiles and pavers.

This glut in the travertine market lead to a decrease in prices in the Australian market in general. Slate and Stone Discounts then negotiated directly with one of the quarry owners in Turkey. Guaranteeing the purchase of very large quantities of pavers and tiles in return for heavily discounted prices. This has led us to be a market leader in Travertine Tiles and Pavers regarding value for money. We constantly sell our travertine for less than our competitors sale prices.
